City Club event description:

While the United States grapples with post-pandemic violence, Chicago has been leading the nation for its leadership in creating community-led and youth-centered solutions addressing safety through the implementation of Chicago Public Schools’ Whole School Comprehensive Safety Plan. As the concern for safety extends beyond the schoolyard, there are lessons to be learned from the very youth in our schools and playing on our streets that have been at the heart of many public safety discussions.

Please join Jadine Chou, CPS Chief of Safety and Security, Maria Degillo, Youth Director of Communities United & VOYCE, Daniel Brown, high school junior, Dr. LaTacia Morgan-Greene, Principal at Austin College and Career Academy High School and moderator Walter Katz for a conversation to learn how we can approach creating a safer city with the youth at the center of so many solutions.
